    Yes. You just reinstall Windows 7 or 8. You cannot rollback after 30 days if you have 10 installed. This is why you always make an image backup of your hard drive. I use Clonezilla if I am doing an OS test on one of my systems.

    Do a clean install of Windows 10.

    I did an upgrade on a Windows 7 computer "ASUS M4A88T-M Motherboard, and the sound drivers did not upgrade with the system because they were incompatible, and trying to uninstall the old drivers and installing the Windows 10 drivers would cause the system to lockup.

    I did a clean install and everything installed perfectly with no lockups.

    We are currently using Windows 7 on the computer at the moment due to program compatibility issues.
